I decided to go to Zumba yesterday and I'm glad that I did because it was awesome. The instructor was actually a substitute for the regular instructor who went to Brazil for the entire month of January. Upon the regular instructor's return, she( the sub) was able to switch gyms with another instructor who didn't want to drive that far so she now has her own class on Tuesdays. The funny thing is

1.  Are you proactive, or do you procrastinate?  I'm much more a procrastinator than not. I usually wait until the last minute to do things, even Christmas shopping(which I posted about). Now it seems that it is beginning to manifest itself in my workouts as I have planned to add weights into my routine and find myself constantly saying "I'll do it later." Later turns into tomorrow which

As you all may or may not know, I am a very visual person. I need to see things happening. I need to see the scale moving downward, I need to see a difference in the way that I look to know that I'm losing weight. Because of this need to see things, I am drawn to weight loss success stories. I read them in magazines, online, YouTube, anywhere I can find them. I get extremely motivated

I think it's about time that I formulate a visible plan instead of wingin' it. I think that I do my best when I have a plan, as simple as it may sound. Over the summer, when I managed to lose 20 lbs. I was doing cardio and a weight training video. I didn't change my diet any but because it was summer, I'm sure that I ate a bit healthier and drank a lot more water. Now I'm basically doing

1.  Do you wear makeup everyday? I only wear make-up when I'm going out or on vacation. 2.  Does your routine change if you’re going out with friends/on a date/to a party? If so, how?  Not really, I only wear mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick/gloss when I do wear make-up.   The only change that I may make is going  from  my staple of clear mascara to black.  Lol  exciting huh? 3.  Are you

This  posts stems from an email conversation that I had with "T"  Anyway, I mentioned that I needed help with my eating and when she asked me what I was having trouble with...portion size, control..etc.   I told her my theory on nutrion as it relates to weight loss. Now I know that eating is 90-95% of the weight loss journey. However, as I have mentioned too many times to count, I am not a fan

Why I prefer to work out alone.  Today I went to the gym with 2 people who shall remain nameless.  Anyway, I headed for Zumba class while they looked at me through the window for  a little while.  After class I joined them on the stationary bike where they were engaged in a conversation about Red Lobster.  One even suggested we go after we left the gym.  Anyway, they piddled about for a few

My Old Polar HRM I was in need of a new heart rate monitor after my Polar stopped working. Well it didn't actually stop working but it picks up my heart rate sporadically.  This, after I sent in off to Polar to have a new battery put in. I honestly think that it is the actual chest strap that is causing me problems.  I changed the battery but my heart rate(according to the monitor) still

 This is where the Zumba "Magic" happens  Last week was pretty lackluster as I really didn't do much.  After Wednesday's Zumba fiasco, I  decided I would work weights back into my "routine" but needless to say, I didn't pick up any weights at all.  I did however, attend Zumba on Saturday and it was a workout.   It more than made up for Wednesday and I left out of there feeling like I had been

So I was kind of pumped the other day because I had it in my mind that I would attend Zumba class. When I arrived at the gym, there was a sign stating that the Zumba class would be starting one hour later.  I was borderline mad but I walked on the treadmill to pass the time and headed to class about 5 minutes before the class was supposed to start.  Time came and went...there was about 40 people

  I decided to begin  the New Year with a "Dear John"  or in this case a "Dear  Fat" letter getting rid of the toxicity and negativity in my life. "Dear Fat, I'm breaking up with you, I've been seeing someone else who has offered a healthy relationship. I know I have kicked you out before but this time it's for good, I want you GONE!

I have just been feeling so overwhelmed these past few days due to my lack of enthusiasm for Christmas shopping. Normally, I'm not the type of chick to execute without a plan but I did just that two days ago and wasted damn near an entire day. I was running around from store to store trying to collect Christmas list items and coming up empty at every angle.  If they weren't completely out of

Am I the only person who hasn't even begun to do any Christmas shopping yet?  Come on procrastinators....speak up. I always seem to wait until the last minute to start my shopping. I don't know what it is but Christmas shopping is not something that I particularly enjoy.I think it is because I never have any idea what to get.  My mother never likes anything that I get for her but she gets

I am always a little hard-pressed to come up with ideas for dinner. we usually have the same things every week aside from the few TV dinners ( do they still say that?  haha)I throw in here and there. One of my passions is watching the food network so I told myself that I was going to try to cook more whole foods and lay off the fast foods and prepackaged meals.   I came across this recipe'

 I had the opportunity to try out my first Zumba class  on Saturday.  I love, love, love Zumba!  I have the DVD's,(Exhilerate and Zumba Fitness) and the Zumba game. About the class, it started at 8:30 ( or at least it was supposed to) so when I arrived at about 8:20, I was fine until I saw that they were already in action.  Me and and another lady were looking at each other like WTF?  I asked

I have been eying this game  ever since I first spotted it at Sam's Club.  I didn't want to pay the $49.99 that this game costs so I decided to look for it online to see if I could find it cheaper.  After having missed a few opportunities to get it on sale for $39.99  I finally lucked up on Black Friday.   I ended up purchasing this game from Amazon for $24.99 and the best thing about it besides

 So far so good.  Last week went surprisingly well.  I managed to work out  4 days this week.  I can't remember whether or not I worked out on Monday so I'm going with four. I mainly used the Precor machine and the treadmill.  I mentioned my dizzy spells and "lightheadedness" so I didn't push myself too hard.  I kept it rather light and only did about 35 minutes on the machines but I still

 As you all know I re-started my fitness journey last week.  I had been to the gym Monday and Tuesday and did a little workout at home on Wednesday..everything was fine, despite my having had a cold for the past two weeks, I still got in some exercise  despite how crappy I felt. Fast forward to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day, I woke up about 2 or 3 in the morning to the room spinning out

I'm not sure if I posted this but I started working out again in December of last  year. I had a free trial at Curves (can't remember how long but I think it was either 14 or 21 days.)  After that trial ended, I decided not to join Curves, but instead to renew my Bally's membership.  I have been working out fairly consistently from that time until about the end of June.  I say fairly consistently

Okay, so its about that time again, this time I am getting an early start instead of waiting for New Years to resolve to get in shape.  Last year I started in December and managed to lose 20lbs. And that is with inconsistent workouts and no dietary changes so I know that it can be done.  I went to Cali this past June and when came home I was 210lbs (down from 230).  Fast-forward to today and I am

Last week I was a little down because I missed 5 days of working out in a row.    It really only boiled down to 3 days missed since I do allow myself 2 days off if I choose to take it.  I was just so busy this past weekend with it being Michael Jackson's Birthday and all  (Yes, I'm that kind of fan) so I was In Merrillville Indiana where the fanvention was held as well as Gary, Indiana at 2300

I know that you are probably thinking that I have fallen off the wagon but NOPE!  I'm proud to say that I am still here and still working out!  I have just completed 3 weeks of working out at least 5 days per week.  Granted, I haven't had much weight loss..(3 lbs so far) but that equals a pound per week and considering the fact that I haven't really altered my diet in any way, I'll take it!  I'm

Yesterday, I had an awesome workout.  I was out by 6 a.m. on the track getting my hour long walk/jog in and then I came home and did Chalean Extreme's Burn circuit 3.  I really felt like I was accomplishing something.   I had plans to do another evening workout but I ended up going out to dinner at Red Robin (my first time there and to be honest. it was nothing special  the food was average at

Woke up early this morning and decided to get my workout over and done with.  I still need to do the abs workout  but anyway I feel great.  I think I've found a way to get me motivated, I look at before and afters of people who have successfully lost weight.  Viewing photos and reading about the success of others seems to be just what I need to get me off of my butt and moving.  I was even

Had a not so great week last week, I was only able to work out 2 days. Yes, I know I suck, but the good thing is that it is now August and an entirely new month to  keep things going. I've also decided to start keeping track of my meals. The only thing that I really don't like is that this particular  meal tracker requires you to weigh in each day.  I'm already a scale whore and I know I need to

I've been browsing various  weight loss and fitness blogs and have become very inspired; so much so that upon awakening this morning, I was determined that I was going to do this thing the right way.  I got out of bed and searched through my drawer to find an old bikini(that I had no business looking at let alone putting on) and decided that I would take some before photos.  I immediately

I'm overweight but do I have to be Apple shaped too? Unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with the "Ideal" Shape. I tend to gain most of my weight in my belly and waist area as opposed to the hips, thighs and butt as is most desirable.  Add to that the fact that I am no longer in my 20's then I may as well kiss my hour-glass dreams goodbye! I don't understand it because I come from a family of

What is it that I need you ask?  A Swift Kick In the behind is what I need. I'm at it again, instead of getting up and getting my workout over and done with I keep putting it off.  first I need to check  my social networking sites, then I need to eat breakfast, Oh now I need to wait 2 hours to digest the food, but I really need to do laundry.  I'll just do double tomorrow to make it up.  When

I'm so proud of myself for getting up and getting it moving for the third day . (this really should be day 4 for me but I took the weekend off) Anyway, I don't know what to blame, my head or my body, but whichever one is at fault was on it today. I so didn't feel like doing anything and managed to talk myself out of it with excuses for a few hours until my willpower took over and I said "I WILL

I'm a fan of Lean Cuisine meals. I usually pop one in the microwave when I don't feel like cooking. Imagine my surprise when I was walking through the frozen food aisle at my local grocers and saw the new Lean Cuisine Steam Fresh meals. I grabbed one (Chicken Alfredo). It sat in the freezer for about two weeks before I tried it out (I'm also a fan of the steamfresh frozen veggies as well, beats

Well, in this case the 6th ( and for me because I started midweek) the third....He rested. Yesterday turned into a rest day for me. I fully intended to do day 3 of p90x but my time, literally, got away from me. Today I will definitely workout though. It is just too hot for everything, Too hot outside PERIOD!!

Today, I put on my Tennis shoes (yes, I said TENNIS SHOES, not sneakers haha) grabbed my water bottle, towel, and my ipod so I can crank my Michael Jackson tunes and I was up and on the track today by 6:01 A.M. That's right 6:01 A.M.  I walked for an hour and jogged a bit, not much, but I did jog.   Ihad a protein shake and a Sausage McMuffin with egg for breakfast. (yes, that evil Saboteur

Today I started p90x and dare I say it.... My son started with me. I feel good because I was able to do some things that he wasn't able to do. He was laughing at me and saying"Aww Mom, you only did 7?" and here he could only do three... so take that! haha. Needless to say we are both out of shape. He is more a skinny fat who needs to work on his strength more-so than losing weight.

I need a plan, a workout and nutritional plan. I know it seems simple but it really isn't, at least not for me. I am motivated to workout. I frequent a site that is very motivational. I see women posting about their accomplishments as well as how they are getting up and working out and most are finished while I'm still in bed. Inspiring huh? Well here is my problem, after reading those

Grandma is a diet Saboteur. I resolved today that I would lose this weight once and for all. I actually started exercising yesterday and I intend to take baby steps with this. I want to eat healthier but I simply have no will power. I had a boiled egg and sliced turkey breast for breakfast and then in came Grandma with an Egg McMuffin and hash brown for breakfast. Needless to say, I had no

Lately I have been really frustrated with my size. I want to be thin again. I just cannot seem to find my motivation. I want to lose this weight for me and no one else. My reasoning may be shallow in that I want to look and feel good about myself again but oh well. I have been looking at before and afters to get some inspiration and also joining a few websites geared to fitness and weight

I'm back on the fitness trail again. This time, I will be embarking , yet again , on my quest to lose some weight and I will be starting P90x on Monday until then, I will b doing some Kettlebell routines as well And I may even add in Insanity for cardio. Hopefully, I will have a workout partner in my son but we all know how wishy washy kids are. I'm a competitive person and I have relatives

This time I will keep pushing on. I had a reality check the other day. Yes, I know that I have been lounging around for the last few months with nairy any physical activity. Of course, I noticed that my double chin which was only visible from the side is now visible from the front and Hell yeah, I noticed that my size 16 jeans are now tight and can barely fasten but still I figured I will

I have got to do something about this weight. It is getting seriously out of control and I'll be damned if I hit the 230's. The plan was to start on Monday but I can't seem to get my ass up and get it moving. My face is huge (cute but huge) I have gotten a double chin and my waist is just out of control. I went shopping for a dressy coat over Christmas and I saw plenty of cute coats but when

I'm still on my fitness quest. working out fairly consistently but I need to do something about my eating. I don't eat much but I really don't cut anything out either. I've been eating some fattening and fried foods and I know that is not conducive to the things I'm trying to accomplish. I've also been skipping breakfast here and there and not really making sure I eat 5 or 6 meals a day and I

Yesterday I walked/jogged on the track for an hour. I feel great when I workout but I don't know why I find it so hard to be consistent with it. I know that I need to lose weight and I know what it takes for me to do that so why am I not making the connection to get it and keep it moving. Oh well, I plan to walk on the track today as well.Yesterday I went to Sam's Club and as I was leaving, I

I wasn't able to get in any exercise yesterday although I had every intention to do something. I had a headache that would not quit and unfortunately it lasted most of the day. I couldn't do anything once I made it home but pop some Tylenol and try to sleep it off. I have been getting headaches more than usual lately. I have no idea why. I used to only get a headache once every blue moon and

I'v manage to walk for at least an hour for the past two days and yesterday. The Kids and I participated in The Crop Walk to stop hunger. The initial route looked rather daunting but as we walked it became more bearable. The entire route was 6 miles. We walked with the kid's friend and parents. I'm quite sure I could have made it the entire miles but because the kids were complaining of being

I got up this morning and the kid and I walked for an hour on the track. It felt good but my legs are sore. Not from walking or anything like that but from the "chub rub" of my thighs. I never really thought that I had big thighs but the chafing has certainly let me know that I am indeed wrong. Anyway, I feel good that I have been able to keep it up.

I don't know what is up with me but I know that I need to lose weight and I know that I have to get active, STAY active, and eat right to do so but I can't find my motivation. Had I kept this up when I first started in January I'd have almost 2 months under my belt right now. Summer is steadily creeping up and before I know it, It will be here and I

I'm feeling a bit refreshed. Admittedly, I haven't been doing much of anything as of late. my workouts are sporadic at best and I haven't really been watching my eating but today it was so beautiful out, I decided to walk the kid to school this morning. I'll most likely be walking to pick the kid up as well. I hope this is a sign that Spring is on the way. It's a whopping 60 degrees here

As you know, I officially started p90X on the 9th, and while I rocked day 1(if I do say so myself) yesterday wasn't so hot. I already decided that I would need to work my way up to Pylo so I substituted with Hip Hop Abs. Now Pylo isn't extremely difficult and I have done it previously but the problem is that it tends to take a toll on my knees. When I did it before I did it using my

It's amazing how much difference a few weeks hiatus can make....and I don't mean that in a good way. I did my 30 day shred yesterday and not only was I more winded than usual but I had to take breaks and modify a few things. I was working out consistently for either 2 or 3 weeks up until the 13 or 14 of December. From then until yesterday I did nothing. (well I did workout one day in between

As I probably mentioned, I had an appointment with a Mac Genius and he confirmed what I already knew. My hard drive crashed and I lost everything, EVERYTHING! I'm most upset about losing my photos which I tend to delete from my camera once uploaded. I did have a few on another drive so that's good. I have truly learned my lesson. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Before I

SO I have embarked on this weightloss challenge in '09. The plan was to start on the 1st but I will be starting tomorrow, the 5th. I just got back into town and because my Mac is giving me the blues right now, I didn't have access to a comp or my workout things. Anyway, I plan to take my stats and start p90x then. I also have an appointment with a Mac "genius" to find out what is going on with my

Although it has been a few days since I posted, I am proud to say that it hasn't been a few days since I've worked out.  I worked out everyday this week except for Friday well... because I just didn't feel like it.  I've heard that it takes a least 2 weeks for things to become a habit and I have been working out for at least that long and I still get that "I don't want to work out today" feeling.

Yes, I'm still on my workout grind. But because I had guests and the kiddies out of school for the holiday, I was hard pressed to find some time to get in a workout. That's right.... from last week Wednesday to Sunday I did nada but I was back in the swing of things yesterday and today. I did my first lower body workout yesterday and you can best believe I am feeling it today. I remember at

I still have my momentum going. I did Turbo Jam cardio Party yesterday and got kind of frustrated since my timer wasn't working correctly. I had to keep stopping and starting and the frustration got the best of me. I only made it through 21 minutes of the 50 minute video. eating was okay, Not as good as my first two days but I'm okay with it. I ate a few small slices of pizza. (2 oz) and

Right now I'm sweating and feeling great. I just finished my workout, level 1 of Jilian Michaels 30 day shred.   Talk about an ass kicking video, this truly kicked my butt. This is my first time using this video and I like it because Jillian is just as motivational on the tape as she is on Biggest Loser.  I had a few moments where I had to just stop and walk it out for a moment becuase this tape

It felt so great to be back on track with the working out and weightloss.  I felt refreshed and just excited to be working out again.I can honestly say that I ate clean the entire day, no cheating what so ever except for a pack of Orbit gum and even that's sugarless.  I ate boiled egg whites, broccoli, chicken breasts, turkey breast, and salmon, and an EAS shake.  That's it and  I  can honestly

Okay well I have a little extra motivation to get it back right and tight.   Something must be in the air because  as of late, I have reconnected with several old boyfriends and needless to say, they all still got it going on while I, on the other hand, look  nothing like I did when we were together.  One is looking particularly fine these days, dayum is he looking fine, arms, chest, abs.  Whew

Nothing like a few photos to snap a girl back into reality.  Now I, in no way am under the impression that I am not overweight but  viewing my family reunion photos,  lawd, I look big.  However, I still have no motivation to get myself in shape, nevertheless, I have resolved to get moving today.  I don't even like to post photos of myself because this is not the me that I want to be.  I have

When it rains it pours.  Last week the kiddies were on Spring Break.  My babies birthday was on Easter and she wasn't feeling well, stomach ache, headache, and such.  Come Monday, guess who isn't feeling well?That's right, Yours truly.  I still tried to workout and power through the upset stomach and dizziness but about 10 minutes into the workout I started feeling lightheaded.  I decided to lie

Yes, yes,  I'm back again.  While I have been working out (sporadically at best) I had managed to stick with my 3 day a week goal save for a missed week and a half due to circumstances beyond my control.  My diet, however, has not been that great.  I have been introduced to a little Italian spot and their chicken and shrimp Fettucini Alfredo is to die for.  You hear me?  TO DIE  FOR!!  I hopped

 I have come to the realization that I am truly a visual person.  I NEED the visuals in order to become and to stay motivated.   I can have no interest in working out, look at someone's progress photo and that is the push that I need to get off my behind.  I don't know why that is.  I know I'm a competitive person.  When I'm viewing someone else's progress photos, while I'm thinking, If they can

 Did some more upper body work today on my arms and shoulders.   Shoulders are the one part of my body that I normally DO NOT work on.  Aside from the fact that they are my weakest body part, my shoulders are already broad enough.  I think that if I do any work on them as far as weightlifting goes, I'll be looking like a linebacker for the Patriots.  I worked them out a little today with light

I recently visited one of two message boards that I had on MSN since 2002.  It has long since died but I was browsing through some of the info that I posted to keep members motivated and came across these.  (No, I didn't make this up and it's been so long, 5 yrs. ago that I couldn't even begin to remember where I got them)  I think this is a good place to start and so I am posting this just as

Another day down.  I decided to do some upper body work yesterday.  Had to ease myself back into it so I only did one round out of the two that are required.  I'll definitely be working my way back up to that point. I even dragged out my old lunge bar  that I bought.    I also did some stretching before working out, something that I never, ever, ever did in the past (I know, bad me) but honestly

So, Last Night I was thumbing through this issue of People MAgazine and I found it very inspiring.  While most of the people featured in this issue lost their weight using a diet plan (LA weight loss, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Optifast) I still found  their success to be rather motivating.  While I don't plan to pay for a diet program, I do plan to change my eating habits (which by the way,

So I am back on it again.  With all of the holiday festivities behind me I am once again getting myself back on track.  I got on the scale this morning and it said 215.6 lbs.  An all time high for me.  You would think  that with what the scale showed me this morning, working out would be no problem, but my mind was telling me a whole "nother story.  I really didn't feel like doing anything today.

I really didn't feel like doing anything yesterday but I  got moving in spite of.  I did my Turbo Jam tape yesterday and realized just how out of shape I am as well as what a difference a few months of inactivity can really make.  I used to be able to do that tape with no problem just a few short months ago and now I have to huff and puff my way through.  Damn shame!  I'm still struggling with my

So yesterday went well.  I got up and moved my behind and did some upper body work.  I only completed 1 round (out of 2) and am choosing to stick to my motto.... baby steps.  Hell, I haven't worked out with any consistency since August so my body needs to adjust to the trauma of exercise  first. lol.   I'm usually the type to jump in head first and over do it which leads to my getting burned out

Yes, it is beyond time for me to get back in the saddle again.  I've been going to the casino and we all know that the food at casinos is no joke. All you can eat pastries, meats, salads, soups, chinese food, pizza, veggies,pancakes, blintzes... you name it they have it!  On my first trip there(firs,t meaning the first out of many last week) I damn near ate myself into oblivion and I felt it.  I

Nothing like a reality check to get one back on track. I was doing some end of the summer cleaning and was moving a full length mirror from one part of the house to another. Just so happened to catch of glimpse of myself and , well let's just say that I was not a happy camper.

I know I've been slacking but I am going to commit to working out at least 4 days this week. (no less but anything more will be a bonus) I have to start off small. I had a big slap in the face this morning when I stepped on the scale. I'm back to 209lbs. which isn't so lovely. I was down to 203 (from 212) before my little hiatus. The extra weight gain may be attributed to it being "that

Okay, I will be honest and just let it be known that I didn't do a dang thing today from eating right to working out! Booo! When I woke up this morning I had every intention of working out but somewhere along the way , I allowed my mind to talk my body out of moving. I just can't get my mojo back. I think the main reason that I was able to stick with it before my vacation was because I

Okay, I decided to get up off of my butt and get moving. I was doing so well before my little trip and although it pains me to admit it, I haven't done anything since I've been back and that had been well over a month now. Needless to say, all the little progress that I made has been null and void! I'm so mad at myself because I had made noticeable strides. People were asking if I had lost

I am continuing to workout using Turbo Jam and HHA mainly. I haven't really been doing much weight training but when I return from my vacation I will most definitely get back to weight training. As of this morning (according to my scale) I weighed in at 203.8 lbs. down from 212(my heaviest) I tend to fluctuate between 206 and 203lbs. (Yes, I'm a daily weigher due to the program that I use to log

although last weekend was sporadic at best, I'm still hanging in there. I didn't get around to doing any of my p90X last week and this week I can surely tell the difference. I decided that I would start a little small and do p90 instead and it just wan't the same. Wasn't feeling it for some reason. I just can't wait until I can see some visible progress because I don't know whether or not I can

Still at it, Yes I am! I decided to follow my workout by the book although I am doing other workouts in addition to it. We'll see how I do for the entire 6 weeks before I create my on workout rotation. So technically it is week 1 day one for my SI6 workout. I worked out for 6 days last week( Monday through Saturday) with sunday being my much needed rest day. Today I did my chest and back workout

I have been doing really well. I've long since given up on the BFL and decided to try various exercise videos at home. I've been working out 2 and sometimes even 3 times a day and my eating has been good also. I'm not following a particular diet but I have managed to keep my calories under 1600 except for yesterday. I haven't logged my meals for yesterday yet but I did end up having 2

I know you guys are tried of seeing my many "Day 1's" but the truth is, I have been rather consistently working out. I just decided to start anew in order to have some folks on the boards to work out with. I'm a big time procrastinator and I need all of the motivation and support that I can get. Today I did my p90x as well as slim in 6. A sista is sore I tell ya. Debbie looks like a little

I woke up this morning and did my p90 . I completed it but took some unscheduled rests because I had to get the kid ready. I also plan to do HH abs as well . I really need to get this weight off of me. A good 60 lbs or so would do me just right! I have this reunion coming up and I need to be looking good and to me that equals a noticeable weight loss.On a random hair note,I have an

I am still working out but I have too improvise and I haven't been able to make it to the gym due to the kiddies being out of school. I'm still doing my p90 but I haven't been getting in much cardio. I attempted to do my cardio coach outside at 10:30 A.M. and nearly passed out due to the heat. needless to say I didn't finish the workout and decided to nix that idea. I did manage to make it

Okay , so the plan for today is to fore go the gym and work out at home. I also plan to do some additional Ab work because I need the most work in that area. I am so sore from yesterday, my arms feel like limp noodles. It was a chore to even wash myself, but like they say, " No pain, No gain!" I just can't wait until I can see some visible progress. I guess my number one priority is to see
